Yuya 松下優也 is an artist with a style based in R&B and hip-hop. Deciding at a young age that he wanted to be a singer and solidifying his choice on a trip to New York, the city of his dreams, he's a strong-minded artist ready to make his mark on the music world.

BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1990, Yuya 松下優也 decided in 2002, at the age of twelve, that his goal was to be a singer.

His desire to be a singer drove him to do research at bookstores and visit Caless Vocal & Dance School, a school he chose on his own. The school, realizing his talent, admitted him on a scholarship. While his training focused on gospel and Western music, he also became interested in street dance and spent a lot of time studying and practicing it.

In 2004, he formed SUGER, a dance/vocal group with Caless classmate Shota Shimizu, among others. Following the formation of SUGER, Yuya met producer Jin Nakamura, who wrote foolish foolish, which was inspired by his first impression of the young artist.

In October of 2005, Yuya, a ninth grader at the time, visited New York City by himself. The trip became a turning point in his life and prompted him to make the decision to pursue music as his life instead of going to high school, though he and his mother disagreed on the choice. 2005 also saw Yuya recording foolish foolish, the song Nakamura wrote. He was one step closer to realizing his dream.

Following his decision to launch his solo career, Yuya quit SUGER and, in 2007, signed with Epic Records Japan to start preparations of his major debut.

Yuya returned to New York, the city of his dreams, again in 2007, this time as Yuya 松下優也 the artist. He spent his time there shooting photos and video for his debut single, foolish foolish, scheduled for release on November 26th.

With his debut coming up shortly, Yuya 松下優也 is already a star, in essence. The only thing left to do is wait for him to take the stage and show the world what he's got.

i love his songs "foolish foolish" and "mr. broken heart".
"foolish foolish" sounds a LOT like ne-yo's "so sick" though, haha. i still love yuya's song nonetheless! happy.gif

very underrated, RnB don't sell in Japan much, and in my venture in Japanese music last year Yuya is the only japnese solo singer with good voice and music, so thought what the hack I'll post a topic in soompi, glad ppl like him.

Just watched both of his PVs, wow I must say he has a beautiful voice. I love Japanese r&b, I don't know why it's not popular. I like the "Last Snow" song.

after endless searching for Last Snow single, finally found it few days ago and after I gave a listen I'm not that impressed with Yuya second single coz I didn't like the Bside song at all, unlike the first single. still Mr."Broken Heart" is his best sing.

Honesty PV

haven't seen them yet to comment but I will later on :-)

after a couple of listen I really like both songs, I prefer Negai over Honesty (even though I don't like the his voice in Negai) and it was a pleasant surprise to see Yuya dancing in both PV, never knew he can dance.
